Bariatric surgery plus pancreas transplant after kidney transplant
This trial studies whether adding bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and a pancreas transplant can improve health in people with long-term type 2 diabetes who already received a kidney transplant. It may help with blood sugar control and related metabolic health, while also needing careful safety screening for kidney function and blood vessel health.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–50 - NCT07533669Recruiting
Sensory room visit before kidney transplant surgery
This study tests whether spending time in a calming sensory room before kidney transplant surgery helps reduce pain, anxiety, and sleep problems. You would visit a specially designed room with soothing sights, sounds, and textures before your operation.
SakaryaAges 18 years+ - NCT07294547Recruiting
Comparing two antivirals for kidney transplant patients
This trial compares two antiviral drugs, valacyclovir and valganciclovir, to see if valacyclovir works as well as valganciclovir for preventing CMV and EBV infections after a kidney transplant.
TaipeiAges 3 years+ - NCT04626167RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a bladder transplant done with a kidney transplant
This early-phase study is testing a combined bladder and kidney transplant approach for people whose bladder problems damage the kidneys. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve bladder and kidney outcomes and be done safely.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 1–60 - NCT05597540RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter antibiotics for kidney transplant kidney infections
This study compares giving antibiotics for 7 days versus 14 days to treat acute kidney infections (pyelonephritis) in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see if the shorter course works just as well and is safer or easier to complete.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT04494776Recruiting
Study of COVID-19 in kidney transplant patients
This study looks at what happens when people with kidney transplants get COVID-19. It may help improve how doctors monitor and manage COVID-19 in transplant recipients.
São Paulo, Aão PauloAges Any age - NCT03955172Recruiting
Test of everolimus to reduce transplant rejection
This trial studies whether everolimus can improve outcomes for people whose kidney transplant biopsy shows signs of a specific type of immune attack. It focuses on patients without certain antibodies and with particular biopsy findings, aiming to prevent rejection-related injury while balancing medication side effects.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07663669Recruiting
Photopheresis for antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant
This study looks at how well extracorporeal photopheresis (a treatment that filters and treats your blood with light) works for kidney transplant patients who have antibody-mediated rejection (when your immune system attacks the new kidney). It may help doctors understand if this treatment can stop the rejection.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06752577Recruiting
Stem cell treatment for chronic kidney disease safety study
This study tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from bone marrow is safe for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It aims to see if this treatment can help slow kidney function loss.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07689578RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a new immunotherapy for chronic kidney transplant rejection
This study tests a new treatment called BiTE (a type of immunotherapy that helps your immune cells attack harmful antibodies) for people whose transplanted kidney is being damaged by chronic active antibody-mediated rejection. The goal is to see if it can safely slow or stop this damage.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06919003RecruitingPhase 2
Improving kidney transplant with a single injection of a protective protein
This trial tests whether a single injection of C1 esterase inhibitor into a donated kidney during preservation can improve transplant outcomes. It is for adults on dialysis waiting for a deceased-donor kidney who meet specific blood and tissue matching requirements.
